I have yet to run across any article that notes one very important piece of information. And possibly a second
(CNN) A suspect is in custody but police still are looking for the weapon and the motive behind the fatal shooting of a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon.
Neither the victim nor the assailant has been identified after the early afternoon shooting sent the university with more than 30,000 students into lockdown for hours. The suspect was detained about 90 minutes after the gunfire interrupted activities at the school’s Caudill Laboratories, a chemistry studies building.
“We want to ensure that we gather every piece of evidence to determine exactly what happened here today and why it happened,” UNC Police Chief Brian James said at a news conference Monday evening. “It is too early in this investigation to know a motive for the shooting.”
Detectives won’t get clues into the motive until they speak with the suspect, he added.
I wonder if we’ll find out the motive if it is Inconvenient
The trans terrorist who murdered 6 kids at a Christian school 5 months ago left a manifesto which still hasn’t been released.
The terrorist in FL who killed 3 in a racially motivated attack had details of his manifesto released a few hours after the shooting.

Investigators have not found the firearm that was used in the shooting and it’s not known whether it was legally obtained, James said.
The suspect was taken into custody shortly after 2:30 p.m., Guskiewicz said. The university continued in lockdown for a couple hours after the suspect was detained because authorities were working to confirm they had the right person and trying to find the firearm that was used, James told reporters.
The first piece of important information is that it is against North Carolina law for anyone except authorized law enforcement to carry a firearm on any school property, or even within proximity to a school
Today UNC students remained sheltered in place for over 3 hours as an active shooter was on our campus. Our 6th day of school was spent under desks and in closets. This is our reality. Demand common sense gun laws now. #uncchapelhill #unc pic.twitter.com/e8K8cPLpvr

The shooter was already breaking two laws, murder and carrying a firearm on school grounds. What common sense gun laws would stop that? And then (below more tag)

We need to wait for the full information, but, is he an American citizen, or a foreigner, probably Chinese? The colleges in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area get a lot of Chinese students, and, if that’s the case, it is against NC and federal law for anyone who isn’t a citizen to purchase/carry a firearm. There are a few exceptions for hunting rifles while hunting, but, that’s rare. Heck, you cannot purchase a firearm in NC if you are visiting from another state.
What “common sense gun reform” would stop this?
